Barde vanVoltt has created a wellness retreat in an Amsterdam home that provides a place to rest, relax and unwind.

The project sits in the attic space of a canalside property, and encompasses a sauna, lounge and jacuzzi.

Natural light, raw materials, restful furniture and a soothing colour palette were employed to create ease and calm. The sauna is crafted from walnut timber flanked by glass to allow for natural light, stretching up and along the attic’s triangular shape to greet the restored wooden beams and aged brass finish of the spotlights.

Beyond, the bespoke daybed made from walnut timber takes in the canal view and can be easily adjusted for rest or reading, while the marble jacuzzi hot tub and sink are complemented by brushed and burnished tapware.

This project has been longlisted in the house interior category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
